It became an overnight classic and one of the funniest series in the industry, all produced by my good buddy Ron Dawson of Dare Dreamer Media back when he was Cinematic Studios. Here's the scenario...

For a few years in a row, at the WPPI Awards program,Joe Photo and Michele Celentano were the co-hosts, until one year I decided it was time for a short change. Well, that opened the door for Ron to step in and what he did with the opportunity was pure genius!

If you need a laugh, it's well worth the next few minutes to get to know some great buddies. It was a lead in for the 2008 Convention and while a lot of things have changed over the years, nothing changes the bond so many of us share thanks to Ron bringing it all together.
